Comment (by thoughtpolice):
I like this, and think the second set of output reads much, much better.
Bonus points: use ANSI terminal colors to highlight some key words in the
output, such as "Warning" or "Error" should they exist.
Lennart also makes an observation about the way the Mu Haskell compiler
handles this:
